Manchester United icon Sir Alex Ferguson once famously said, “Attack wins you games, defense wins you titles.” Even in an era where teams prioritize goals over everything else, the quote from one of the game’s greatest minds stands irrefutable.
A solid defensive side might not always play eye-catching soccer, but, more often than not, their resiliency proves to be decisive. Throughout history, we have seen efficient teams win championships and escape relegation time and time again, often at the expense of teams that prioritized form over function.
